In honor of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Centennial and the 50th anniversary of the creation of NASA, the LBJ Library and Museum hosted an Apollo 8 Reunion on April 23, 2009. The Reunion honors not only the three astronauts on that historic mission, but also the men and women on the ground who made their illustrious journey a reality.

The evening panel featured Astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders. Former NBC News anchor Jim Hartz served as moderator.

I know Frank Borman personally as he is one of my neighbors. His personality is just as forward as you see here. He is very down to earth (forgive the pun) and one of the funniest guys I know. He isnt known as Col Borman around here. He is known as Frank. He is a great man that did great things for Aviation and Space programs. Hats off to him and the crew of Apollo 8.

My favorite Apollo mission. These guy s were the first to leave earth's orbit...the first to go into deep space...and the first humans to fly to the moon.

I really love Commander Lovell's choice of words when talking about the perspective of seeing the earth from the moon: "...how small a body we all lived [on] and that it was really sort of like a spacecraft with six million astronauts all striving for the same things out of life." I feel like Carl Sagan would approve.

I was 9 years old when they flew Apollo 8. What a magical night Christmas Eve 1968. It inspired me to fly planes at 16 and get my pilot license at 17.

Such diverse personalities, but all men of strong character.

When I was 7 years old the only NFL football player I could name was Roman Gabriel, but I could name every astronaut in the Apollo program. Man those were great times!

My dad and I helped repair an old '37 Dodge for some guy and it turned out to be Frank Borman. He gave me and my brother a metal coin that they carried with them around the moon.

I would have to say my favorite Apollo crew. Borman and Anders are absolutely perfect with Lovell as the straight man. Awesome interview. A side only Apollo crew who stayed married to their original wives.
